Magnetism
We live in a sea of waves. With this exciting visual aid, students can explore the unique relationship between the unseen electric and magnetic waves surrounding us. See the difference between wave- length and frequency scales in addition to understanding radio and microwave usage, x-ray, and gamma ray absorption and much more! Accompanied by an explanatory sheet.
Little Shop of Physics: A Mobile Hands-On Science Program Captivates An arcane science turns into a traveling circus that’s fizzy, frantic, and fun.
by Sara Bernard
The whirring and clicking of homemade machines fills this middle school classroom turned science museum, stacked high with magnet sculptures, spinning plates, and funhouse mirrors. A shop vacuum balances a beach ball on its upward air current; a humidifier, hooked up to an aquarium tank, gurgles out thick, white vapor that students can touch and pour into cups. Two-liter soda bottles, plastic funnels, cast-iron pans, and discarded television sets demonstrate everything from momentum to magnetism in a way that clearly captivates a preteen audience: above the din rises an incessant chorus of "Ooh!"s and "Ahh!"s and the occasional delighted shriek. It may seem chaotic, but it is purely scientific. Most of all, it is experiential learning -- the Little Shop of Physics way.

Projector of Magnetic Line-of-ForceThe Projector of Magnetic Line-of-Force may be used to show magnetic line-of-force of various permanent magnets; while the Magnetic Line-of-Force Viewer demonstrates steric magnetic field and formation of its lines-of-force using iron powder in liquid immersion. Special features of the Projector of Magnetic Line-of-Force include simple construction, easy handling, sharp image, and evident result. May be observed directly or by means of projection. Simply shake the container thoroughly before use, place it on a magnet, and linesof- force will be seen immediately. To use the Magnetic Line-of-Force Viewer, the instrument is rotated and shaken up and down, until the iron powder is well mixed with liquid. Next, a magnet or electromagnet is pushed into the hole and lines-of-force may be clearly seen. |

Fire Syringe KitDesigned to provide a safe but very dramatic demonstration of the generation of heat by gas under compression. The piston inside a heavy-walled combustion tube is housed inside a transparent plastic outer cylinder which provides an unobstructed view of the action inside the tube. Cotton at the bottom of the tube ignites in a flash as the plunger rapidly compresses the gas in side the tube. |
